Dean, Kalamazoo, Roberta L. Grass, Grand Rapids, and Carol K. Triick, Conklin. One of those graduates, James Dean, went on to become the Director of Dining Services at Western Michigan University.

Current Student: Erika Jordan
April 25th, 2012Erika Jordan is a junior in the CIT program. Where are you from? Ypsilanti, MI. Why did you choose the CIT program, especially being a female? My original major was graphic design and I didn't pass the sophomore portfolio, so I had to switch programs. I've always been interested in computers, so I shadowed my aunt who works with them. That led me to choose CIT as my new major. I heard the program was good and the career options are really interesting to me. Our program doesn't have many females, but I would encourage more to join. What do you want to do as a career after graduating from the CIT program? I want to continue working with...

You've Gotta Read What A Respected Author
Why most golfers will never reach their potential and how you can quickly transform your game and leave them in your dust! (This concept is very simple and you'll be shocked at the results!)...
Learn the secret of training your muscles to consistently hit the ball near toperfection every time. I'll share with you the biggest secret to conditioning your muscles to do what
How to train your body to do the things that a "killer" golf swingdemands... and learn it in a fraction of the time that it would normally take (Imagine giving your mind and your muscles the equivalent of 760 hours training in just 3 hours! How much do you think that could improve your game? It's inevitable isn't it? Even if you've been playing the game for 30-40 years - you can achieve massive improvementin a matter of weeks)...
How to make your body as limber as those rubber band punks you see belting the golf ball a country mile... even though they weigh 85 pounds and stand 5 feet tall. (You'll never be disgusted off the tee ever again)...
The simple exercise you can do to make your balance rock-solid. This is the well guarded secret to avoid those slices and hooks that send your ball wildly flying into the rough, sand traps and water hazards. Imagine that ball sailing down the middle of the fairway time after time.
But there's even more...
My special technique for unlocking your shoulders to give you maximum shoulder turn and real power you can launch into
The embarrassingly minor change you can make to each exercise which doubles or tripleseach movement's effectiveness (automatically programming your muscles - LITERALLY BURNING IT INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS - to play shots that give you astonishing pin-point accuracy)
My unique 3-minute game warm-up routine that prepares you to play kick-ass golf from the very first tee (this is a routine that virtually no-one ever does - quite frankly because very few people understand how critical it is for adding 10... 20... 30 yards to your drives)...
A "killer" stretch for your back to give you maximum movement just when you need it (again, a key component of ANY pro golfer's game - and something you won't learn from any gym instructor or personal trainer)...
How to easily develop both flexibility and strength without having to work out like a gym junkie! (no matter what age you are). And you should also know that this system is NOT about building up more muscle. It's about using what you already have yet getting massive increases in your power (increasing your muscle mass can actuallyshorten your swing)...
The amazing little exercise which dramatically boosts the strength in your shoulders(and yet, it only takes 30 seconds)...
Learn the one "special move" you must do on the course to insure proper muscle memory before every shot...
You'll also discover...
How you can follow one specially designed exercise and do the equivalent of over one hundred golf swings in less than a minute! I guarantee this will add 20 yards to your drives in 7 days or less...
Three "golf stretches" you must do in your home, to get your lower back loose, before you even get into your car... Learn this dynamic golf warm-up that can be done in less than 5 minutes and you don't even need to hit any balls to be ready to play...
The #1 stretch you should do "on the course" if you have a bad back. Skip it and play with a painful back for years to come. This exercise alone can significantly reduce your back pain
The quick and simple test to determine your current level of golf specific fitness...
Why using machines in your gym or home is hurting your golf swing not helpingit...
Why you must have a certain combination of food before you play to ensure maximum concentration and energy...
The reason you should NOT eat a sandwich or hot dog at the turn. Andif you do... what will happen to your game on the back nine...
How using a rubber band in your office will dramatically improve your swing mechanics and power...
Secrets of stretching that will amplify your body's ability to produce a BIG backswing and complete follow through for better consistency (it's so simple, you'll shake your head when you hear it)...
How hitting fewer balls on the range can actually help your swing. Why your hours on the driving range are probably a complete waste of time and how you can make any practice you do pay off to really improve your golf game...
There's still more...
Everything you ever wanted to know about strength training for golf... includingdetailed answers regarding the older golfer...
How your BODY is what's keeping you from playing your best game... notyour equipment... and not hitting more balls...
The only reason why you've been struggling to hit it further and why it'snot working...
What causes your frequent miss-hits and how you can quickly correct it. It'snot what you think...
Three of the most golf-specific fitness routines you've ever seen. It's notlike any of the "so-called" golf fitness programs you see in Barnes and Noble or on Amazon.com...
How this special simple aid you can buy cheaply and easily at your local store can increase your drives up to 40 yards in less than 3 "in-home" sessions. Why you won't see any success in your program unless you do this very important movement throughout your entire session.
Simple, "sweat-free" golf exercises you can do right in your office in 10 minutes. Take a break from the grind and improve your game at the same time.
How one simple movement can make or break your success in golf. If you're ignoring this all your effort is wasted!
Why you don't have to be a "gym rat" to be fit for golf. It doesn'ttake hours a day like you think.
How another simple aid you can use in your office or at home to help you overcome your back pain instantly...
One of the greatest secrets to producing longer shots and the reason it works and keeps working time after time.
The secret that will put your weight loss into "warp speed". It's so simple... you'll be shaking your head in amazement and wishing you knew it years ago (you'll soon be looking years younger than your golfing buddies)...
The "unknown" exercise, that even golf pros aren't aware of... done with your golf club... that will give you pro level power at impact... where it counts (say good bye to those weak, slaps at the ball)...
Have the confidence to step up to the tee on a long par 5 and know without a doubt you'll get there in two... and be putting for eagle (something your playing partners can only dream about)...
No more "back-pain!" I'm dead serious! What would it be like to finish a round of golf and feel great? It's about to happen...
You'll never need to go to a gym again. Everything can be done "in yourhome" or office... saving you time to play more golf...
This doesn't even scratch the surface of how you will be blowing the doorsoff the rest of your foursome.
No joke! They'll be astonished at your golf transformation!
There are lots of golf fitness books and programs, and dozens of people claiming to be experts.
However, very few of these so-called "Golf Fitness Experts" practice what they preach or have the credentials and track record to back up their claims. Since you're probably wondering how this book is different, here's the whole story:
I've been playing golf for over 20 years and know the golf swing "inside andout". If I were to do it all over, I'd still be a golf fitnesstrainer, but I'd also be an instructor.
So when you came to me, I'd not only work on your swing mechanics, but your BODY too.I have played to a single digit handicap for the last 9 years. I've been involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and motivation coach for nearly 20 years.
Golf and fitness is my life - it's all I've ever done.
Enough listening to me talk...
It doesn't matter what your ability is, how old you are or what your starting pointis. You will be amazed at how quickly you feel better and shoot dramaticallylower scores.
Allyou need is the right program, that's based on your starting point, that you can implement right away. It's that easy.
So stop looking for the latest greatest driver or training aid and focus on what'sgoing to get you the quickest results that last.
Best Part: You don't even need to hit anymore balls at the range to see immediate improvement in your swing. You heard that right. NO MORE POUNDING BALLS! I'm telling you... it's YOUR BODY that's keeping you from a game yourplaying partners will envy!
Once you getthis book in your hands, you'll discover everything you need to know, in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step way. I wrote it like I am there talking to you in person.
The Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide covers many different facets of golf improvementthrough fitness.
This book is unlike anything you've ever seen.
How do I know?
Because, I've bought and looked at every golf fitness book in print. None of them cover the dynamics of the golf swing and how to strengthen the specific golf muscles and produce rapid results like this one.
Clients have paid me as much as $200.00 per session, to work with them privately,one-on-one. They pay these kinds of staggering fees happily... because my programs work. They can do a session of golf stretching and strengthening, and go out and play a great round the same day.

I've been anticipating the WordPress 2.7 release, named "Coltrane", since WordCamp NYC back in October. Initially, the thought of another major dashboard redesign made me a bit nervous. After all the negative reactions to the 2.6 design I hoped that it would not be a repeat performance.
The end result is that, while there is still room for improvement, the new interface is taking things in a positive direction. The ability to edit the contents and layout of the dashboard and the Write screen are enough of a benefit that I can overlook the minor frustrations of having to scroll down to find menu options when I have too many menus expanded in the dashboard navigation.
I've upgraded my own blog and plan to begin upgrading my clients blogs sometime next week. If you would like to get an overview of some of the bigger changes check out this very professionally produced screencast:

creative food, great service – We had a great experience at Meritage. Our server was very helpful and recommended the perfect wine to compliment our dinners. I had grilled pork with some sort of wine/berry/honey sauce that was amazing. Desert was even better -- carmelized bananas in a cannoli shell with homemade caramel ice cream! A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Really annoyed... – Firstly, the reason I write this is because I love the food here, and would like to dine here more often but the last two times I've tried I was turned back by an apparently lazy staff more interested in going home early than in doing business. Both times were very similar circumstances. The first time was on a Sunday at brunch time. My girlfriend and I arrived at about 1:45 and the host turned us away, even though brunch is listed as being served until 2:30. The second time was just last Sunday night. After driving around the neighborhood for 20 minutes and finally finding parking, we arrived at 9:15pm, with presumably 45 minutes before closing, and the host says "We are done seating!" I was infuriated, and perhaps should have said something, but then I thought, why should I even have to? Either change the time you list as your closing time or change your staff! This kind of thing strikes me as the height of unprofessionalism and is unbecoming of a restaurant of this caliber. Other than these two negative experiences I think this place is wonderful.
Stylish, upscale date spot serves comforting, creative American fare in an intimate Bucktown space. – The Scene
This cozy, contemporary restaurant doesn't get much press--which is just the way its fans like it. The front room has a casual wine-bar feel, with tight tables, textured sage and exposed-brick walls and a beckoning blond-wood bar. Outside, an all-weather patio offers some of the city's best alfresco dining.
The Food
The alluring American fare is bold and delicious, with lovely presentations and beautifully mingled flavors. Caramelized onion and blue cheese tart gets sauced with huckleberry coulis. Signature ahi poki, a succulent pile of diced tuna, gets a big boost of salty flavor and chewy, crispy texture from a topping of chopped seaweed and fried wontons. Look for nightly specials like elk medallions with rabbit confit in clove reduction. And for dessert, it's a toss-up between two delights: berry-and-chocolate bread pudding with zingy curried ice cream, or fab Tahitian vanilla custard in gingered cherry soup.
Not the best place – They seem relaxed about reservations but if you are late, the hostess can be extremely rude and snooty. Because of the weather, we had several of our party late by 30 minutes and I apologized several times and thanked them for holding our table. There was not even anyone in the restaurant! The food was good but overpriced. Our waiter was very nice and attentive and was the only redeeming quality. When we left, the hostess, again was snooty and short with us. Not a good way to bring people back
Perfect spot! – Meritage has been a consistent favorite for years. The food is fantastic, the ambience is somehow romantic and hip at the same time, the servers are attentive and nice and the wine list is out of this world. I love it for Sunday brunch on the patio (any meal on the patio - with a jazz band to boot!), as a place to meet friends and catch up and as a place to just get a great meal and hang out. I couldn't have designed a better restaurant myself.
A Joke – If awful service, average and overpriced food, and the ambiance of an army-barracks for hipsters if your thing, by all means go. If you like food, and expect someone to actually try when you are forking over reasonable money, I think you have to look elsewhere. Even if you get past the food, it's going to be brought to your table by an absent-minded hipster who thinks that the real reason you're there is in hopes that some of their hipster magic will rub off on you. Skip it.
Fantastic! – Best restaurant we've been to in Chicago. Food was terrific. Service was impeccable. Ambience was just right. Perfect for a date. Good value too.
Great food – Went there this weekend for Valentines with my sweetie & two other couples. I would recommend eating there for the food, which was pricey, but you get very good portions (and the food was delicious). The service, however, could have improved. We were seated immediately, which was great, but we didn't get our food for another 90 minutes after being seated. After getting the menus, we each knew exactly what we wanted for dinner but the server wouldn't take our dinner orders. She would only take drink orders. Then after bringing the drinks would she take appetizer orders, then dinner orders. We ended up having to call the Peninsula Hotel (where we had 10:00 reservations for the chocolate buffet) and pushing our seating reservations because we hadn't finished our dinner yet. Overall, definitely recommend for the food, but only if you have the time.
Romantic & Contemporary – My boyfriend and I love this place! We went to Meritage for the first time last weekend. The wine list and food were delicious. And our server was so pleasant - taking care of us from start to finish. This is definitely a romantic spot to enjoy with your significant other. What a great place to enjoy our first dinner in Chicago!
Spectacular food, wine list, and service! – I visited Meritage the other night with a few friends - what a pleasant surprise! They have a very extensive and wide-ranged selection of wines and an eclectic menu. The goat cheese soup is phenomenal and the edamame-crusted salmon was amazing! The ambiance was great, the scene just right - I will definitely be back again!

Bait al Karama
07 Mar 13
Nablus, 63 kilometers from Jerusalem in the north of the West Bank, was once the economic capital of Palestine. Its olive oil soap; along with Aleppo soap, was once exported around the entire Mediterranean. But during the clashes and destruction of the Second Intifada, the uprising that lasted from 2000 to 2010, the historic center of Nablus became an epicenter of violence. The city is still suffering the devastating after-effects, with unemployment estimated at 80% and around 65% of the population living below the poverty threshold.
Yet even in such difficult circumstances, signs of hope are emerging. One of them is Bait al Karama, which means "house of dignity," the first center for women in the old town. Its aims are to create jobs for all those who have suffered trauma and loss during and after the Second Intifada and to run a program of social, psychological and educational support for women and children.
Bait al Karama is also Slow Food's Nablus convivium and hosts the first international school for Palestinian cooking entirely run by women from the West Bank. The project evolved out of the awareness that while Palestinian cooking offers an incredible variety of Arab dishes and specialties, it is little known in both the Middle East and the West. Nablus was once the crossroads of many important commercial routes and home to several of the country's richest families, who supported the development of a refined cuisine. Some of Palestine's most fascinating dishes originated here, the result of the meeting of spices, meat and vegetables from distant countries. The desserts, in particular, represent the peak of this tradition.
Bait al Karama is restoring local women's pride in their own identity, giving them the chance to pass on a rich heritage of traditions. And on March 5, several of the women were invited to the European Parliament to present their project of hope. What better way to celebrate International Women's Day, March 8, than with this meeting between Palestine and Europe with the women of Bait al Karama?

text: Joseph t. RepasThank you for this article. It is well informed and I believe without prejuidice. There are two things I would like to bring up on this subject. One is that Nazi Germany was working on creating a nuclear bomb during this war. Although the Nazi's were defeated I would be amazed if no one such as Russia would have picked up on their progress to that date of the war ending. Another thing I would like to add is that I had an uncle who served in the Pacific Islands during the war in combat and he told me that they were told that they would be invading Japan. It was imminent. Then the bombs were dropped and the landings were postponed and became more of a clean up police action later. Thank you. Joseph t. Repas

FYI: Office of Public Interest
Lower your loan payments! Beginning July 1, 2009, Income-Based Repayment (IBR) will be available as a new loan repayment option for federal loans (undergraduate and graduate). IBR uses a sliding scale to determine how much borrowers can pay on their loans. For most borrowers, IBR loan payments will be less than 10% of their income. Borrowers must qualify for a "partial financial hardship" to receive a reduced payment. Based on program guidelines, many WCL graduates will qualify. Remaining debt, if any, will be forgiven after 25 years of qualifying payments. For graduates working in the public sector, the new Public Service Loan Forgiveness program will forgive remaining debt on federal loans after 10 years of qualifying payments.
WCL has debuted a new podcast series about recent developments in federal debt relief assistance. In conjunction with Equal Justice Works, the series discusses both IBR and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The first podcast is a general program overview. Subsequent podcasts will discuss specific portions of this federal program and other debt assistance programs. Alumni with questions about this program or other debt relief assistance programs should contact Jarrod Shirk, Public Interest Coordinator, in the Office of Public Interest at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Engaging Our Alumni...
"We have the unique responsibility of building relationships with our alumni and the goal of integrating them into the life of the school. The rich tradition of WCL grows with each graduating class and with it comes new opportunities for alumni participation."
American University Washington College of Law has more than 12,000 domestic and international alumni. Membership in the Alumni Association is granted upon graduation. Since no dues are collected for you membership, participation in Alumni activities and support of the annual fund is encouraged and appreciated.
The Office of Development and Alumni Relations is continually striving to reach out to alumni and remind them of the important role they play at WCL long after graduation. From serving as a judge on moot court or as a speaker at a student group function, reconnecting with the school can not only enrich the lives of volunteers but also that of students.
Here at WCL, volunteer opportunities abound. All we need is you!
Send Us Your Email Address
We can't send you information on upcoming alumni events, student programs and WCL news if we don't have your email address. Please take a moment to email firstname.lastname@example.com with your current email address (and your name and graduate year) today! Thank you.

In the Handicap, played Wednesday and Thursday, the winner by tie-break was Peter Collins; also on 4 out of 5 were Luke Humphreys, Barney Shiu and Roella Smith (the last two both juniors).
All games played at Handicap plus 2 (as shown in brackets).
The Isle of Skye Go Club hosted the first
There were no British players winning Go Golds at this year's Mind Sports Olympiad. The event was held between 21st and 30th August at the Soho Theatre in the centre of London and had restricted space, meaning fewer events than normal. Six players played the 13x13 on the Friday afternoon, with Gold going to Spain's Paco Garcia de la Banda (3 dan).
Oscar Selby, aged 7, became the youngest winner of a Manx Go event at the recent Isle of Man Go Week. He won the 13x13 and also the Rengo (doubles) with Matthew Cocke. Not much older was the winner of the Lightning Tournament, Barney Shiu.
Matthew Cocke just missed out on a top spot, losing the Open

would it be better to use engineered flooring for my great room. We have all sand around our house and I am concerned the sand might scratch the floor.If I use engineered it can be repaired.
Neither one can really be repaired. Both are laminates, engineered flooring just has a real wood top layer. However, that layer is too thin for all but the most basic refinishing. For either laminates or engineered, the only real repair is to replace the damaged piece. Not really possible if it's a glue together, merely a hassle if it's a snap together floor.
my wood laminat floor has gaps in spots how do I fix it
Welcome to the boards bigdon. First off, it's usually better to start a new thread for a new topic.
That said, a little more info will help. Do you have gaps just on the short ends of some planks? If so, then you can remove the base trim at the end of each plank run and by using a pry bar you may be able to pop the planks back together.
If the gaps are on the long runs of the planks, then you have to take the floor apart from the finished end until you reach the bad spots so that the planks can be lifted and put back together.
All the above is assuming you have a snap together floating floor. If it's glue down or glue together then you are looking at a whole new floor.
Do you have glue 2gether or snap-2gether floating? Also, can you tell me the brand and thickness?
How long have you had the floor?
I can't tell you how to fix it but your problem is one of my major concerns for whether or not to use laminate in 1200sqft of remodel. I've seen several homes who have laminate snap-together floors and the short ends seem to separate. ---Yikes!--- How long have you had your flooring?
